lol I’m a little more generous 7 and 11 but that still is quite the spread for the increased production Mitch gives.
Rumor: TOR and John Tavares close to a deal: 3 years at 7 million
- Thread starter Ianturnedbull
- Start date
the leafs need to sit down with Tavares and see what his plans are for the remainder of his career. he will probably have a sharpe fall off with his lack of foot speed at some point. I doubt he declines to a player who can put up 50 points for a couple of seansons. He seems more like a guy who will continue on this current trajectory and then at some point fall off the cliff and be out of the league in 1.5 years after that decline.
so with that in mind why not sit him down and plan out the rest of his contracts for his career if he wants to seriously retire a leaf. the 3 year 7 million dollar deal doesn't give the leafs much of a discount. why not go the polar opposite so either do 1 year deals till he retires or if he's looking at 3x7 for 21 million give him an 8x3 million gives him 24 million vs 21 and if he falls off the cliff he can be LTIR and basically be deferred money. as one of the few who think Tavares is still useful on this forum I don't believe the 3x7 will work out as a team friendly deal in year 3.
